Beyond my expectation.

Atty. Nick is very specific on my case. He explained possible scenarios in a simplest way for me to understand. He is not just an Immigration lawyer but also he will be a friend who will definitely give his 100% support just like he did to me. My anxiety prior my citizenship interview was 100% but af...ter the coaching, i became more confident and less anxious. Atty, Nick’s staff are all professional and respectful. No dumb questions and they will attend to your legal needs. Highly recommend them beyond 5 ⭐️.

Wish granted

Extremely recommended lawyer to many who is in need of legal assistance to immigrate in US. Our case is complex issue, we've history of overstayed in US and refusal of B2 visa. Atty Nick Caraquel and his Amazing team took the time to follow up the documentation and expedite the process. We're very... anxious on the day we've got the appointment letter for interview. Like thoughts of we may be turned down to immigrate in US because of our previous case. My husband tried to researched all possible right approaches to answer for the day of our interview. Atty Nick Caraquel and his Amazing team comply quickly with my husband queries, they even work late nights just to ensure they lead us with the detailed topic that the interviewer may possibly raised. The night before interview Atty Nick Caraquel best wishes and prayers anchor us to sleep early, be organized and equipt for the day ahead. Wish granted, we were approved two days later we received our Visa via mail. Thank you so much for Atty Nick Caraquel and associates for their professional and yet humble assistance rendered to my family.

A Highly Satisfied Clients

We are very well pleased by the wonderful service we received from our immigration lawyer , Atty. Nicolas M. Caraquel . The first time i met Atty. Nic , I readily felt at ease in talking to him , not because we speak the same dialect but he has his way of making his clients feel relax and casually ...talks like we know each other already. He is so humble and approachable , like - you knew he is your lawyer but you also feel like he is a friend. Atty. Nic had walk us through all our immigration journey from sponsoring my partner in the Philippines by filing a K1 visa which was done efficiently . And when my partner arrived here in the US , we applied for her work authority and travel visa because supposedly we planned to go on vacation before. Likewise , we filed for her adjustment of status . And just last week ,November 25 , she was approved for her "green card". We are so grateful that Atty. Nic had met us days before our interview to review our documents and coach us personally for the interview. Through that it give us a big boost of our confidence and made us more prepared , a big factor for our success in getting approved . All these services we received from Atty. Nic. Therefore we can really attest that Atty. Nic is very proficient immigration lawyer .And also you can see the proof in the many plaques of recognitions he received from different organizations in the walls in his office as well . And his office is though small but neat , clean and very homey. Likewise , we also give credits to Atty Nic's entire team (staffs), who are very accommodating , helpful , respectful and most of all very efficient in their work. They never fail to follow up with you and remind you of things or documents to secure/ provide for your application, etc. Atty. Nic and staffs from the bottom of our hearts , sincerely we want to thank you for a job well done.

Testimony

My case was supposed to be simple but the circumstances around it made it very difficult. Atty. Nick and his staff was there with me every step of the journey, answered every single question and assured me that everything will be alright. Thank you for making the process easy, it made me less anxious... and it made me confident that it will have an outcome that I have been waiting and praying for.

Citizenship and IR visa approved

At first, it is very difficult for us to start processing our papers for my husband’s citizenship and my petition. (Honestly, we don't have any idea about it) Until one day, my husband accidentally met his friend whom told a story about how his friend brought his wife in New York. He gave us his lawy...er’s number so that we may contact him if we have inquiries. Without a doubt, we messaged attorney Nick Caraquel and he immediately replied us and asked our situation. He gave us pieces of advice on how to solve it. He became our good adviser. He's very genuine, approachable and never fail to respond us anytime of the day. Even when our papers have already processed, he kept on updating us until such time, my husband became a US citizen and until my visa was approved. Thank you attorney Nick Caraquel. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to update us and of course for giving us courage and hope. Without your ability and guidance, my husband is still a green card holder and my petition is still a plan. You are such a great blessing to everyone and also to idream America team ( New York and Davao) for answering all my questions on time that really helped us a lot in processing our papers. We'll be forever grateful for you attorney and idream America team. God bless everyone.

"Attorney Nick is passionate about our job which is primarily to help immigrants with their immigration concerns. He has a soft spot for them owing maybe to our being immigrants ourselves. Diligent and always on top of things in the immigration field, he is a lawyer whom clients can count on. For such, this colleague deserves my recommendation."
